I've heard so many fantastic things about The Secret History, I need to read it at some point, and over the past couple of years I've been revisiting Austen; I've never read Emma, so I may have to give it a try at some point. =)Jess @ Jessticulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081569733749956845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891836148334813580.post-12029602190235829372017-09-12T14:08:43.048-07:002017-09-12T14:08:43.048-07:00Such a great list!

And OMG, your line about the sections of Anna Karenina that had to do with farming being dry made me laugh out loud... understatement of the century! Those sections almost killed me when I read the book for the first time. I ended up skimming through, and skipping to the juicy parts! :) Savannah @ Playing in the Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985421680531892814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891836148334813580.post-88086389614051365202017-09-12T09:54:51.387-07:002017-09-12T09:54:51.387-07:001984 is another that definitely deserves a re-read...1984 is another that definitely deserves a re-read for me.
